Fiber is great, but to much fiber will have the opposite affect.... TRUST ME! lol Lots of water, 5.5oz can of prune juice a day, smooth move tea..... all of those will help.0

More fiber! Apples!0

I'm taking fiber pills now but I'm thinking of switching to prunes. God, I'm an old fart.:grumble:
unfortunately the best laxative of all (for me) is fast food.0 -
yes coffee helps me too but at the current moment i think you might need something stronger to get over the hump. i would say try one of the over the counter stool softeners.0

Make sure you are getting plenty of fiber....I love the fiber one cereal and mix it with light yogurt. When buying bread, make sure it is high fiber. There are some 12 g fiber tortillas that are very tasty!! Really keep an eye on fiber.....I keep my fiber grams 35 or more a day....good luck!0

2 things work for me - brown rice (small servings, the calories can be a lot). AND, for some reason, sweet potatoes. I'm not sure what the fiber content is in those, but if I eat 1/2 a sweet potato for dinner, the problem is solved the next morning.0

If you are eating enough fiber you should have no problem. Flaxseed helps and so does more fiber. Then again I have never had the problem of not being able to go...with me I eat then I go...LOL0

I had the opposite problem, and it hit me at the most inconvenient times - like when I'm out shopping..good luck finding a public restroom LOL - what worked for me? Kashi 7 Grain flakes cereal. I ate that for breakfast every morning and after about a week of eating it...well you know the rest of the story. Also eating a lot of veggies and fruits - my staples are celery & carrots, pineapple, apples, bananas, raspberries,grapes, raw spinach leaves and also yogurt. be sure to drink alot of water, eating stuff like this with the water wll help you stay regular.0

Rattlesnake chili will resolve that problem.0
